Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine a 19-bp deletion polymorphism is not associated with overall breast cancer risk, although a borderline significant additive interaction between the dihydrofolate reductase genotype and multivitamin use is observed. Multivitamin supplements may place a subgroup of women, i.e., those with the19-bp allele, at elevated risk of developing breast cancer. A dose-dependent relation between dihydrolfolated reductase expression and the 19 bp deletion genotype is observed Homo sapiens
